A group of religious leaders headed by the state’s Episcopal Diocese is asking lawmakers to move forward with a list of gun safety measures, hoping to frame the issue as a religious and moral imperative rather than a partisan one. The group rallied at the state Capitol on Monday – less than two weeks into Lent, “the season of self-examination and repentance, and we have much to repent for,” said Rt. Rev. Audrey C. Scanlan, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Pennsylvania. “It is our view that the missing component to the gun violence prevention movement is the faith...

Republican Senator Tom Cotton claims that the Biden administration is funding Israel's Movement for Quality Government that is "trying to bring down Netanyahu"

When Democratic Sen. Jon Tester finally announced that he’s running for reelection from Montana, you could almost hear the collective sigh of relief from party leaders. The same dodged-bullet greeted Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown when he revealed: “I’m running in 2024,”

Did Tucker Carlson change his show plan last night? In late February Tucker Carlson announced that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy granted him unfettered access to the Jan. 6, 2021 protest footage at the US Capitol. Axios reported that House Speaker McCarthy handed over 41,000 hours of Jan 6 Capitol footage to Tucker Carlson at FOX News. Tucker Carlson made an announcement on the news later that day. Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Tucker Carlson and his team unfettered access to over 44,000 hours of January 6 footage. Tucker was the only media outlet allowed to access the thousands of hours of...

The largest study to examine outcomes for patients treated with a minimally invasive procedure to repair a poorly functioning mitral valve in the heart found that the procedure was safe and resulted in a successful repair for nearly 9 out of 10 patients, researchers reported. Patients whose procedure was successful were half as likely to die within one year. "Our analysis showed that in an older patient population with limited therapeutic options, transcatheter-based mitral valve repair was safe and was effective in reducing valve leakage from severe to moderate or less in almost 90% of patients," said Raj R. Makkar,...

This fellow is eminently fortunate that none of the people in this home were apparently armed at the time of this insanity. VIDEO AT LINK............. You gotta respect this dude's hustle, though. Up front he appears all willing to pay for the damage: ...but then just a few seconds later it looks like he straight up takes the money back! Pro tip: Don't do this. Take a deep breath instead.

A large group of teenagers ransacked a restaurant in Queens, New York, and the suspects are reportedly still on the loose. The suspects entered Fish Village in College Point on Saturday morning and began trashing the place without saying anything, the restaurant's manager told WABC.

President Biden fired the opening shots of the battle over spending and taxes that will consume Capitol Hill this year when he proposed on Tuesday a 5 percent Medicare surtax on people who earn more than $400,000 a year. The White House is hailing the proposal, which is part of Biden’s budget plan, as something that will extend Medicare’s solvency by 25 years, but Republicans are slamming it as a “massive” tax hike and key Democrats are ducking for cover, declining to say whether they will back it. The proposal reopens the fierce political battle that wracked Capitol Hill more...

Women are the “primary victims” of “climate change,” twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said during a discussion Wednesday at the 30/50 Summit in Abu Dhabi, pointing to Ukraine as the prime example. “Women and children are the primary victims of conflict and of climate change and there is no place that unfortunately, tragically, shows us that more dramatically than Ukraine today,” Clinton despaired to MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski. “But there are a lot of other conflicts, a lot of other challenges that we have to take into account as we look at gender apartheid and Afghanistan. The persecution and oppression of...

The origins of Covid-19 are being explored by a US congressional committee in a first hearing in Washington. The panel, formed by a new Republican majority in the US House of Representatives, is aiming to establish how the coronavirus emerged. Some US officials have concluded that Covid "most likely" came from an unintended lab leak in Wuhan, China. But many scientists point out there is no evidence that it leaked from a lab. And the White House has said there is no consensus across the US government on the virus's origins. Dr Redfield was an early proponent of the lab...

U.S. — Democrat leaders have issued a dire warning to Americans, saying that anyone who watches unedited clips of the footage from January 6 runs the risk of arriving at a conclusion that hasn't been approved by Democrat leaders.

It the magic phrase so beloved by liberals. Despite the lack of enforcement of existing immigration laws especially at the border, liberals claim that "comprehensive immigration reform" will somehow solve the current problems. Of course, they never get into specifics because to do so would make it very difficult to ever pass such legislation. The most they do is vaguely suggest a "path to citizenship" (i.e. amnesty) for the millions of people now illegally residing in the United States. Therefore Politico and its merry band of liberals in Zach Colman, Myah Ward, and Eli Stokols must be given credit for...

High-dose anticoagulation can reduce deaths by 30 percent and intubations by 25 percent in hospitalized COVID-19 patients who are not critically ill when compared to the standard treatment, which is low-dose anticoagulation. These are the significant findings from the large-scale international "FREEDOM" trial, led by Valentin Fuster, MD, Ph.D. Patients were not in the ICU or intubated, and approximately half of them had signs of COVID-19 impacting their lungs with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Patients were randomized to receive doses of three different types of anticoagulants within 24-48 hours of being admitted to the hospital and followed for 30...

Tucker Carlson Responds to the Blitzkrieg of DC and Media Apoplexy Following His Broadcast of J6 CCTV Video Fox News host Tucker Carlson became public enemy #1 as a result of him showing some of the CCTV footage from the January 6, 2021, protests in Washington DC. Collectively both parties in Washington DC and their stenographers in the mainstream media spent the last day in hysteric criticism of Tucker Carlson. The need for control is a reaction to fear, and Mr. Carlson seems to understand that sunlight always brings forth the greatest demands for control. In his opening segment tonight,...

CNN — Russian troops will have “open road” to capture key cities in eastern Ukraine if they seize control of Bakhmut, President Volodymyr Zelensky warned in an interview with CNN, as he defended his decision to keep Ukrainian forces in the besieged city.“This is tactical for us,” Zelensky said, insisting that Kyiv’s military brass is united in prolonging its defense of the city after weeks of Russian attacks left it on the cusp of falling to Moscow’s troops.“We understand that after Bakhmut they could go further. They could go to Kramatorsk, they could go to Sloviansk, it would be open...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California’s Reparations Task Force recently concluded its two-day public meeting geared toward compensating Black Americans affected by the legacy of slavery. But the nine-member body is a long way from the finish line. One of the key discussions of the recent meeting was the creation of a new state agency — a “freedmen’s bureau” to be the authority should reparations become a reality. The idea for the proposed California American Freedmen Affairs Agency was inspired by an act passed by Congress on March 3, 1865. Back then, the federal government established a Freedmen’s Bureau to provide food,...

Why Female Mice Should be Used in Research March 07, 2023 Michelle Taylor For over 50 years, researchers have preferentially used male mice in experiments, in part due to concern that the hormone cycle in females would cause behavioral variation that could negatively impact results. Over time, this practice has resulted in a poorer understanding of the female brain, likely contributing to the misdiagnosis of mental and neurological conditions in women, as well as the development of drugs that have more side effects for women.
